Delivering From Evil

Sed libera nos a malo, amen. Qua impetrata, contra omnia quae diabolus et mundus operantur securi stamus et tuti Sed hoc in praesenti fit, quantum divinum examen nobis utile esse prospexerit. Unde dicit Apostolus: Fidelis est Deus, qui non patitur vos tentari supra id quod potestis, sed facit cum tentatione proventum, ut possitis sustinere. Orandum est enim ut non solum non inducamur in malum quo caremus, quod sexto loco petimus, sed ab illo etiam liberemur, quo jam inducti sumus. Quod cum factum fuerit, nihil remanebit formidolosum, nec omnino metuenda erit ulla tentatio. Quod tamen in hac vita, et quandiu istam mortalitatem circumferimus, ubi serpentina persuasione inducti sumus, non sperandum posse fieri, sed tamen aliquando futurum sperandum est. Opportuno autem tempore perficietur beatitudo, quae in hac vita inchoata est, et cui capessendae atque obtinendae aliquando nunc omnis conatus impenditur.  Rabanus Maurus, Commentariorum In Matthaeum, Liber V, Caput XIII Source: Migne PL 107.821a-b

But deliver us from evil. Amen 1 Which is sought against all the works of the devil and the world, so that we may stand securely and in safety. And this is done in the present as much as the Divine examination is useful for us, hence the Apostle says, 'God is faithful and shall not suffer you to be tried beyond your strength, but with the coming of temptation He acts so that you will be able to endure.' 2 And one must pray that we are not only not led into the temptation we lack, as we sought in the sixth passage of this prayer, but that we are delivered from what we have been led into. When that is accomplished nothing shall be formidable, nor shall there be any trial to be feared. In this life, however, while we will carry around this mortality, where the serpent's persuasion has led us, we should not think it to be possible, but rather one should hope for it at some future time. For then is the right time for the perfection of blessedness, which in this life is just beginning, and that we are all now exhorted to try to seize and obtain sometime.  Rabanus Maurus, Commentary On The Gospel of Saint Matthew, Book 5, Chapter 13 1 Mt 6.13 2 1 Cor 10.13
